LENEXA BAPTIST CHURCH = AMERICAN SOLDIER POEM

AMERICAN SOLDIER POEM

It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religionAnd it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, or teacherBut the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.

Our soldiers line up to be remembered As the best of the best at their job. They wish to be needed and depended on To save all we love from the mob.

They risk their life and limb for liberty Standing firm against evil unwilling to break. To be part of something greater than themselves They are willing to sacrifice whatever it will take.
